Want to know how it sounds, if it's half as good as it looks you did well.

Guitar looks awesome man. Glad you got to do it up to your standards. Love that frickin' p90 in the bridge, particularly with that tele style bridge. looks cool as hell.

nice guitar, but where did we end up on the dual? felt like that was a little anticlimactic.

I'm pretty sure that's going to sound like hot secks. Nice touch on the headstock

Thanks for all the compliments! It has been a great amount of fun and nothing was extremely hard, just needed patience as staining and putting the tung oil on took time. I guess the next step would be to actually build parts themselves. But that can be saved for another day.
Video/sound sample is the next step. Our practice space actually just had a pipe burst in the ceiling above it so no practice space for a few days/weeks until they can fix that shit. None of my band's stuff got wet but the band we share with got a little on two of their amps. Luckily there wasn't any real damage that we can tell, and at the very least they have a tech in their band, as well as myself, that can fix shit if something did go bad. I am going to take the guitar to the studio though and see if I can sneak in some time to record something.
So far I have only gotten to play it through a shitty little peavey rage that I have in the apartment, but it sounds nice through that. The neck is a bit thicker then I am used too as I got the boat profile so it is more like a 52 tele sized neck. But it tapers a bit, so it feels good for both chords down low and single notes up high.

So I made a horrible video. Enjoy my shitty playing but enjoy the wonderful sounds of my guitar and amp. I had a little bit of time before we actually needed to start work so just a flip cam for video and sound.

Turned out great, good job dude. I particularly like way the bridge and its pickup look in there.
